====Canada and the United States====
The apple fritter is a fried pastry popular within Canada and the United States. Early versions of apple fritters appear in Martha Washington’s ''Booke of Cookery'', a manuscript dating to the 17th century, which includes various fritter recipes common in colonial American kitchens.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Apple Fritters {{!}} George Washington's Mount Vernon |url=https://www.mountvernon.org/inn/recipes/article/apple-fritters |access-date=2024-11-09 |website=www.mountvernon.org |language=en}}</ref> An apple fritter recipe typically includes a batter made from flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, eggs, and a bit of oil. Fresh apples are peeled, cored, and chopped, then folded into the batter. The fritters are deep-fried in vegetable oil and, once golden, are coated in cinnamon-sugar for a sweet finish.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mom's Apple Fritters |url=https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/90295/moms-apple-fritters/ |access-date=2024-11-09 |website=Allrecipes |language=en}}</ref> In Canada, the apple fritter remains especially popular; [[Tim Hortons]], a leading Canadian coffee and doughnut chain, reported that the apple fritter became their top-selling doughnut in 2023.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tops at Tims in 2023 |url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tops-tims-2023-apple-fritter-142900233.html}}</ref>
